Stopping the Transmission

Video Walkthrough

Locate and Shut Down Antenna in Derelict Row

Navigate your way through the city streets to your objective by following your map. Once you arrive there you'll be turned away at the entrance by a gang member. Enter the alleyway to your left and spot the ladder that leads up the fire escape. Climb the stairs until you enter the apartment complex and then exit out to the rooftop.

You have two options to get to the fire escape across from you: Jump (if you purchased the Icarus Landing System) or if you look just over the edge and spot the vent system. Hop on top of it and hug the side of the building until you can jump off of it onto the air conditioners and then to the fire escape.

Now that you're on the fire escape, slowly make your way down and try and avoid detection by the gang members below. It's better to time your movements when they're not looking down into the alleyway. If you are spotted while climbing down, go into cover along the ledge and the enemy should lose interest rather quickly.

Once you're on the ground level in the alleyway, stay crouched, and make your way behind the delivery truck and through the door ahead. Close the door behind you to minimize the noise and then take out the guard in front of you. Crouch and walk under the walkway and get near where you hear the guards talking. Wait for them to finish their discussion before moving forward, otherwise they'll spot you. Move slowly away from them waiting for the opportunity to continue forward behind the red shipping container. If you have the cloaking device you can just sneak right by most of this and take position behind a cement divider.

As the nearby guard walks away, proceed along the left wall among the shipping containers. There are cover positions to move between as more guards continue to talk to one another (do any of them even do their job?). Remain in cover and continue along this route and through the cement tubes.

Continue to move slowly towards the opening in the building and spot the weapon cache. Pick up what you can make the room for, especially the Ammo Capacity Upgrade kit that can be applied to one of your lethal weapons. Once you're stocked up, jump up out of this hole into the room above you.

Manhole Cover: I'm aware of the nearby manhole cover but unsure where it leads or if it was really worth pursuing since it was covered with guards. This is an entrance to the next area if you decided to take the sewer path. Since we did not, this manhole cover can be ignored. If you wish to take it, I eliminates the need for stealth above as there are only a few enimies on the way. It brings you up JUST oustide the area where the Weapons Cache is but if you use it you only will miss out most of your stealth 'training' on the way in.

Crouch under the wood panels blocking the door. Keep an eye on the nearby guard positions and make your move to the door pictured above when the coast is clear -- make sure you close the door behind you to reduce any noise you might make. There's one guard patrolling the level you're on now. Once you approach the corner, spot him and wait for his back to be turned before you suppress him.

Ahead of you will be two gang members sitting down on the sofa and watching television. Remain crouched and sneak by them into the elevator shaft. Climb the ladders all the way to the top level with the hallway covered in proximity mines.

To your left are a couple of barrels. Pick one of them up, walk away from the proximity mines, and then toss it into the hallway setting all of them off. Yes, this will alert the guards but they will not walk into your line of sight. Simply remain calm and wait for the alert level to return to normal. (Alternatively you can crouch and walk slowly to disarm the mines manually).

Once the two guards have calmed down, sneak into their little area and suppress the first guard who takes a seat on the couch while the other one steps outside. Suppress the first guard and then turn your attention to the guard outside.

With the last two guards taken care of, make your way to the antenna and shut it down by completing the hacking mini-game. Doing so will net you a "Getting Things Done" reward for 2,500 XP. Soon after Malik will arrive. Rendezvous with the transport to gain 1,000 XP and proceed to your next mission at the FEMA facility.
